In the courtyard of the Crown Prince's residence, Lingxue tries to find out what's going on. She can't find her brother, who's still in the woods, and she's not sure how to explain it to her father. She's also worried about the fire, which seems to have been deliberately set. She tells her sister to stay and wait for her, because the fire's spreading so fast. She also tells her brother to wake up, because someone is lying in the forest, and they need to get out of the house. They hear someone trying to kill their brother, but they don't know who they're talking about. They're also worried that the fire was deliberately set, and that someone was trying to destroy all the evidence. Lingxues sister tells her to blame herself, because if she'd followed her brother around, they wouldn't be able to stop her.
